Springfield police believe the shooting may have been in retaliation for a previous incident.

“It looks like there’s some ongoing animosity between groups of people. Some things happened a little bit earlier and it looks like this was retaliation for something that happened earlier in the evening,” Thompson told Smokey Barn News.

Twenty minutes prior to the shooting, shots were fired in the same area and police believe the victims were ambushed, according to a release.

Numerous shots were fired by both sides of the dispute and several cars were damaged by gunfire, Springfield police said.
